1999-06-18 04:00:00 PDT PENINSULA -- Music lovers can listen to the sweet, young voices of about 1,000 students from 12 schools in the Redwood City Elementary School District on their second CD made up of original tunes and old favorites.

Called "Redwood City Kids Rock," the CD includes 28 songs ranging from pop tunes such as "We Are the World," to traditional Bulgarian, Spanish and German songs. The oldest singer on the CD is 12 years old.

The money raised from CD sales will benefit the district's music program. Organizers hope to earn a $10,000 profit this year.

"And one thing just led to another," he said, culminating in last year's debut, "Make Your Dreams Come True," which brought in $20,000, including a major grant for music equipment.

Wish is asking for at least a $15 donation per CD. Checks should be made payable to: Redwood City Education Foundation, P.O. Box 3046, Redwood City, CA, 94064. For more information, call the foundation at (650) 568-0233.
